I Want You to Be Here with Me for Christmas
I want you to be here with me for
Christmas,
Even if you leave your heart at home.
I know that lately
my love makes you restless,
But it's too hard to spend this time
alone.
My love for you is like the Christmas
season:
Joyful, yet with knowledge of the end.
My need for you has
neither hope nor reason:
If not a lover, please, just be a
friend.
Please, just be a friend, and come to
me
When all the world is bright with love and song.
You are my
pillar and my fantasy,
My earth and yet the sky for which I
long.
My need for you, of course, is mine, not
yours,
Nor need you answer me but out of love.
This is the season
when we open doors
To let in those whose need our hearts might
move.
And after Christmas you may go your way
To
leave me with my sadness and my dreams.
I have no right to bother you
to stay,
Knowing how your heart, unaltered, leans.
I want you to be here with me for
Christmas,
Even if you leave your heart at home.
What you decide,
and why, is not my business,
But still for me it's hard to be
alone.
